PATNA: A 23-year-old man, Abhishek Kumar, committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan in his room at Mohanpur under the Shastrinagar police station area in the wee hours on Friday.

Abhishek's father Ranjan Kumar Sinha was the first person to spot him hanging from the ceiling. Abhishek left behind a suicide note. "Maa raat ki sabji bahut achchhi banayi thi aur maine ek roti khaya tha," the note read. Holding no one responsible for his decision, the boy wrote in the note he was frustrated with his career as he could not find a job to help his family financially.

Abhishek's relative Amit said he was an introvert and sensitive boy. He would never share his problems with anybody. He was not good in studies. While his mother works in a shop, his father is unemployed. The couple has a daughter who is a school student.

Shastrinagar police station SHO Vivekanand quoted Abhishek's family members as having told him that he was suffering from depression for the last six months.
